Help with Mac and 0.7.3, please!
Okay...we just got a brand new Mac OS X Leopard yesterday in the mail...I was excited 'cause I thought we would finally be able to play a DS Emulator on it...buuuuut...I downloaded the Mac intel 0.7.3 version, everything was working fine 'til I tried to open the DeSmuME program. I got this message:
"The application DeSmuME quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected."
And then I had the options to Ignore, Report..., or Relaunch. Ignore just makes the window close, Report... makes you send the error to Apple, and well...that wouldn't do much, and Relaunch just brings you to the same window with all those options.
This happens when all programs on Macs quit unexpectedly, but it didn't even open up before doing so...which means that there's a major problem...help?
(I just checked the box--this is an Intel Core duo Mac or whatever. 
)

We'll have to wait until the porter comes here, but I don't know if he checks this forums...

Could someone compile 0.7.3 on leopard? That might work right? Btw, is Luminous arc supposed to work on DeSmuME?

Re: Help with Mac and 0.7.3, please!
I build a newer version of DeSmuME on MacOsX, from the current state of the CVS:
http://membres.lycos.fr/jvernet/Softs/software.htm
Have sound and some speed improvement/bugs off. But I cannot improve the core emulation.
It's working on my iBook. It supposed to be a Universal Binary, but I do not have any MacIntel to test. Please let me know (I think, it's not working on MacIntel...).I do not have Leopard, so cannot say if it's working under Leopard.

Re: Help with Mac and 0.7.3, please!
How did you compile it for the mac?
Your version does in fact work better than the official... but i cant get it to run any of the examples that come with devkitpro.
I cant find an xcode proj file or anything i need to compile it on the mac.

Normal, quite a few improvements to the emulation core (for example, I fixed quite a lot of regression and a crash bug on Mario 64 DS) and Mac port have been done since the last release, on the CVS: it's not like it's magic

Re: Help with Mac and 0.7.3, please!
Hi,
I wroked from the latest public CVS sources.
As the ./configure et al. does not work on my mac, I made an XCode project. Hopefully, there is not a lot of tricks to do. Create an SDL Project, adding sources to the project, .icns, etc. It build nearly "as this".
I only change some #define relative to WORDSBIG_ENDIAN to make the sources dynamically change for each arch (ppc/i86). For the first build, I didn't do that, so that why you have only a blank screen. More over, I enable a MULTHREAD parameter that curiously mirror the screen.
I will post on the correct thread what I made, I will post my build and the XCode project, to be added to the CVS.
For Shash: rotating background from PAlib doesn't work under DeSmuME, as I'm writing a little HB demo based on this

Both PAlib demos on \PAlibExamples\Backgrounds\RotBg\ work perfectly, please upload a failing example.

Hi,
On my Mac build (PPC), rotations example do not work.
I also found a demo (plasma.nds) who rotate a background while palette change, doesn't work either.
My current build is from the actual state of the CVS.
I'm trying to improve the Mac Port, but do not have all the needed knowledge !

Re: Help with Mac and 0.7.3, please!
Mail sent. I need to see with you why I have some bugs on the mac Build (rotating background are one, but I also have a problem with the key -direction key doesn't work, although there is related part of the sources working...-.
